Martin's breast a hundred years in the ground. In one of the biographies there is a story about 'Langarad of the White Legs, who dwelt in the region of Ossory. To him Columba came as a guest, and found that the sage was hiding all his books away.
Then Columba left his curse upon them; 'May that, quoth he, 'about which thou art so niggardly be never of any profit after thee'; and this was fulfilled, 'for the books remain to this day, and no man reads them. When Langarad died 'all the book-satchels in Ireland that night fell down'; some say, 'all the satchels and wallets in the saint's house fell then: and Columba and all who were in his house marvelled at the noisy shaking of the books. So then speaks Columba: 'Langarad in Ossory, quoth he, 'is just now dead. 'Long may it be ere that happens, said Baithen.
